John Shuttleworth’s future is looking bleak as his sole agent, Ken Worthington, announces that he is going to retire. Who will secure John’s bookings at the local drop-in centre and sort his expenses? John doesn’t know, but to take his mind off events he decides to get his ladders and fix the car port roof. When Mary’s friend Joan Chitty arrives, he shares this news and she tries to brighten his day by suggesting he could be a contestant on Love Island.

John isn’t convinced and, to escape Joan, he joins Ken in looking around the Golden Acres retirement home - where all is not as it first appears. Could this be the end of John’s career?

This is John Shuttleworth’s 30th year in production for radio and each episode in the series contains new songs, including Shall we Share the Shortbread Shirley, Pumice Stone and Blister Pack.
